I understand that not all mirror sites will have the space to keep
copies of all the archive, that is each mirrors choice. But I think
at the very minimum the 'official' ftp site of ftp.debian.org should
keep a copy of bo around. If I recall weren't buzz and rex each kept
around for at least a little while before being removed?
